Passive internally-sensed network tomography is the study of network characteristics and behavior based on observations of network traffic on a select subset of links inside the network. In this research, we identify the ...

Subradiant and superradiant plasmon modes in ring/disk nanocavities and dialers are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The subradiance is obtained through an overall reduction of the total dipole moment of the ...

We consider the estimation of channel parameters for code-division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems operating over channels with either single or multiple propagation paths. The multiuser channel estimation ...

In this paper, we evaluate several issues in the application of subspace based methods to tracking channel parameters in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication systems, in the presence of multipath fading. We ...

Cadmium pigments are widely used in the polymer and ceramic industry. Their potential environmental risk is under debate, being the major barrier for appropriate regulation. We show that 83.0 ± 0.2% of hazardous cadmium ...

We demonstrate the application of superlocalization microscopy to identify sequence-specific portions of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with sequence resolution of 50 nucleotides, corresponding to a spatial resolution of 30 ...

The operating temperatures of current electrochemical energy storage devices are limited due to electrolyte
degradation and separator instability at higher temperatures. Here we demonstrate that a tailored mixture
of ...

Superfluorescence (SF) is a many-body process in which a macroscopic polarization spontaneously builds up from an initially incoherent ensemble of excited dipoles and then cooperatively decays, producing a delayed pulse ...

The environmental impact of shale oil and gas production by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is of increasing concern. The biggest potential source of environmental contamination is flowback and produced water, which is ...

A challenge in the development of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics (BHJ OPVs) is achieving a desirable nanoscale morphology. This is particularly true for polymer blend OPVs in which large-scale phase separation ...

Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) is concerned with the representation and approximation of curves and surfaces when these objects have to be processed by a computer. Parametric representations are very popular because ...

A systematic investigation of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was performed using metal nanoshells as the substrate. Nanoshells are a dielectric sphere coated with a thin metal shell, which have a well understood, ...

Isonicotinate self-assembled monolayers (SAM) were prepared on alumina surfaces (A) using isonicotinic acid (iNA). These functionalized layers (iNA-A) were used for the seeded growth of copper films (Cu-iNA-A) by hydrazine ...

Discontinuities in data often provide vital information, and representing these discontinuities sparsely is an important goal for approximation and compression algorithms. Little work has been done on efficient representations ...
